Audiences

Tertiary: Future audiences for other niche markets. 25-50, online savvy and affluent.
Brief
The identity wants to feel discerning, sophisticated and slightly upmarket, with executions providing a neutral visual platform for the images.
The brand needs to feel equally at home in music and other areas of interest in order that the 'Editions' approach can be extended beyond 'Sonic', into other areas in the future.
The website needs to take into account the white labelling of affiliates.
Approach
We wanted to create a monogram that could work as a standalone marque, as well as in a type lock up with Sonic Editions. The rationale for this approach was multi-layered; it responded to the need for sophistication whilst also giving good flexibility for the badging of affiliate relationships.
The brand is often seen in partnership with NME, Getty Images or Rough Trade, and the clean monogram style sits comfortably alongside a diverse range of partners.
